September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Folks:    Just wanted to let you know that I have talked to the reservations person for Memorial Union, Union So., and the Red Gym.  If we are sponsored by a student organization on campus, we can use spaces in any of those facilities without charge.  The person I originally spoke to hadn't mentioned that as an option.    I also contacted X of the UW Greens, and the Greens are willing to be the student organization on campus to "sponsor" MAPC events.  If we can target a few dates that might work, I can check on accomodations.  We could have used Tripp Commons Saturday, but not until 2:30p.m..  It would be nice to be able to plan without weather concerns, but then we need to estimate approximately how many people may attend in order to reserve enough space.  Maybe we could reserve Tripp commons and spill out onto  the terrace if the weather permits...  It would also be great to use Peace Park for some shorter events (due to cold.)  With the planning committee considering it's future, we could show them it can be put to good use as is.    I will also ask the DJ's at WORT to announce the cancellation whenever there is an opportunity Thursday- Saturday.    For those who posted signs, it might be a good idea to tack a bright-colored note about the cancellation, or just write on the original poster.  Hopefully not too many will actually venture to the mall Saturday, especially if the weather is discouraging.    X, I will volunteer to share representing the arts & cultural committee with X.  Sorry we ran into this snag just when you had a lot of other things going on.

September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Hey, all.  Sorry about my abrupt departure Sunday.  My sister's been watching my kids for me during meetings, and has other commitments to get to in the evening; don't mean to be rude. I'm writing to do the follow up Gillam requested on the "People for People, People for Peace" event.  I hope this will be a clear and read-able version of what I spewed at you in the meeting, something you can work with and convey to your groups.   From all committees we request the following:   that anyone and everyone possible make a leafleting piece for the "Information and Inspiration" table.  This is the booth where folks can pick up materials to keep, pass to friends, canvas.  This is all unofficial stuff, not MAPC affiliated, necessarily, but info that people can use for encouragement and proliferation of the peace message.  They can be gentle and non-political, or informative and opinionated, or specifically targeting one problem with the war, etc, etc.  If those doing one of these could bring 20 or so copies to the event, that would be great.  Otherwise, you can attach it in an email to me: X   That you support in whatever way possible our campaign to get the word out on this event.  I have some individuals who have volunteered to leaflet, but we may need more help as the event approaches.  I'll keep you posted.   Please bring forth suggestions on food donations, musical and kids' acts, and anything else that would help us run this smoothly and make it fun.   Additionally, most of you (we hope) will be doing some sort of booth/table for the event. (as suggested below) We have eight tables reserved right now --we will definitely be asking for more.  But, the gist is that you'll all have a six-foot table to work with, and other than that, please see that your information is presented nicely and attractively, perhaps with a sign designating your area, with someone to stand there and be in charge of it!   Now, for the individual committee items and efforts that we're requesting...    Action:  bring materials for a table on upcoming MAPC events, perhaps a sign up sheet for further notification of events, or informative materials -- yours is the most ambiguous.  Use this venue as you see fit...Please keep in mind this is a family affair, and somewhat festive (we hope).    Communication: Gail, this is actually directed at you!  It sounds like you have already covered the committee's bases with the web thing.  So, if you could keep me posted on how the sewing's going, that would be good.  Also, when and where can I get you fabric?  And, just so you know, it sounds like we will have a few seamstresses at the event working on further sewing, so really if you could just get 5 - 10 bags together before the event, that would be great!  And, if you could let me know how long they take to make, so I can get a feel for what we're dealing with.  I may also ask you to be the "advisor" to the sewing table, in the very beginning, since you will have already had some experience with the sewing.  Let me know if you are comfortable with this role.  Would you want to bring your machine to the event?    Arts and Culture: We will continue organizing volunteers from the coalition (largely unaffiliated with committees -- off the volunteer sheets), seeking acts and music, finding donations, and overseeing the sweeping organization.  We will plan and create decorations, come up with a floor plan, and signs to designate some of the areas for the "fair"-type environment inside the venue.  We will oversee the peace quilt project, and the other art projects for kids there.  We will create a better flyer for the major distribution of info -- although, if anyone can help with this, it would be sooo appreciated.   Finance/Fundraising: Bring your buttons!  Make a nice little set up for them, etc.  Bring the art and info for the art auction??? Also, if you could get us that tax exempt # ASAP, we really need it!!!   Outreach/Education: Please help with getting the information out to organizations, in church's agendas and bulletins, in school buildings, at pre-schools, to the girl scouts, and the YMCA, etc, etc.  Keep us posted on how that's going, if you can!  You can use the flyer that you have now until we develop a better one (hopefully by the end of this week).  Also, can you develop or put together some materials on the refugees we're actually helping? the "this is who you're helping" theme.  If you could make this booth rather catchy, with pictures, a sign with the suggested phrase "this is who you're helping...", etc.  I have an article that I'll give to someone on your committee at the GM meeting.   International Solidarity: If you could do a booth on the international anti-war movement, that would be wonderful.  I"m thinking articles and pictures from the foreign press....  Make it catchy, give it a cool title and sign, so that people can see what it is from a distance.  Also, if you guys could commit, say three or four people to work the event, that would be so great!!!  If anyone has cars and can pick up food donations on the way, that's even better!!!!   Labor and Student Caucuses: Please get the word out to your people!!!  Please consider putting together some kind of booth as you see fit for this venue.  Please encourage your special "spokespeople" (from the students, from the labor contingency) to voice their opinions for the Information and Inspiration table by creating a canvasing piece.   Media: Please contact the normal sources: newspapers, radio, TV, etc, and get the event in the community calendars.  We can talk more about what, exactly should go in there, but I think you all know what is appropriate for these situations, so maybe it would be best for you to take the info from the flyer attached here, from the webpage postings, and from what you see here to explain what the event is all about.  The donation info (what we're looking for) is pretty important, if it can fit.  Otherwise, e-mail (mine?) and web address can be used as info sources for those with questions. I thought you may also want to see if WORT wanted to collaborate with you on a booth on free press for the event.  Just an idea.   That should be all for now.  Attached is the preliminary flyer (very rough, the one you have, more or less) for the event.  I will bring copies to the GM meeting as well.  We need to develop something better for the mass distribution.   Thanks so, so much!  Please contact me with any questions, concerns, problems, or criticisms.  See you Tues. X You Can Help Stop Terrorism Before It Starts! Terrorism is a tactic of desperate people. The Taliban was born and bred in the miserable refugee camps of Pakistan.

Will they become recruits for terrorism?

I think it's a great idea.  But, I don't think we can have both groups working on specific events needs AND groups working on the other general issues, there will be too much cross purpose work.  As I think the committees who are sponsoring the events are already coordinating the events and asking for help as needed, I would propose the breakout groups work on the general issues: 1) working on the brochure 2) postering for the upcoming planned events only (coordinating to minimize duplicate efforts right now, not the overall plan of how to deal with this in the future) 3) labor caucus - at least show of interest As for website suggestions, the Communications cmte will be meeting shortly, and I would like to see what develops before throwing this out to the gm. We know there are improvements to be made, but it is working as is, and people are posting and finding things.  As always, anyone with strong ideas on the web site can a)join the communications cmte, b)come to the communications cmte meeting, or c)convey their opinions to the communications cmte listserve. peace, X _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp _______________________________________________ coordination@madpeace.org http://lists.OpenSoftwareServices.com/mailman/listinfo/madpeace-cc September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.

X et al, at the first meeting, i recall a few (not many, but very vocal) out of towners who were vehement that we 1.name our group "madison area" and not just "madison" and also, that we hold meetings off campus. the second preference was also, i believe, stated from in madison but not on campus folk. i agree that for students willy st seems far. but i also might note that perhaps we have gotten less folk from neighborhoods because we have only HAD meetings on campus. in light of this, i certainly don't want to isolate the students out from the group, but i also think that smaller, outreach meetings should be happening in community centers. the arts folk and i are very interested in this concept. i do feel that the neighborhoods need attention too, but so far as coming from out of town, what's the difference between campus and willy st? not much. so i would suggest that we do on campus still, but offer up GOOD parking solutions and bus info in each announcement about the meeting, to encourage folks from outside campus to come in. as well, continue efforts to reach outside the university to people on a day to day level, and advertise for the meetings far into outlying communities. for the sake of saving funds, staying central and reaching students, campus is a good solution, but not the only aspect, and should be supported by consistent advertising out and about. your transitional cc rep from arts, X --- X <X> wrote: > X and all, > > If Wilmar is too far away from campus, then I really > don't know what the point > is of meeting off campus -- it's only on the 900 > block of Jenifer St., parallel > to Williamson St. on Madison's near-eastside.  If > there's a potential problem > with that distance, then I think we should remain in > the campus area and if we > meet in the campus area, why don't we just continue > to meet on campus?  I don't > recall what the idea of meeting off-campus was, > except that it was a good idea > and we should get out in the community.  Does anyone > remember any other > reason(s)? > > In rethinking it, I don't see any reason why we > shouldn't continue to meet on > campus until we get other constituencies involved > which would point to > meaningful different meeting sites.  It would also > solve the problem of spending > that money and more in the future, plus not have to > deal with a difficult > situation of trying to organize student > transportation, on a space for our > meetings which will start to eat up our budget, > which could be better spent on > more important things.  I also remember X > reporting that we were making > less and less donations at the meetings. ===== X madison wi usa                               x September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.

Hello Friends, What do y'all make of this article from today's Times of India? http://www.timesofindia.com/articleshow.asp?art_id=1030259305 "Bush took FBI agents off Laden family trail" From: The Times of India Nov 9 01 By: RASHMEE Z. AHMED TIMES NEWS NETWORK LONDON: America was itself to blame for the events of September 11 because the US administration was using "kid gloves" in tracking down Osama bin Laden and "other fanatics linked to Saudi Arabia", a special BBC investigation has alleged in a damning indictment of the two presidents Bush and American foreign policy. The report, which the BBC claimed was based on a secret FBI document, numbered 199I WF213589 and emanating out of the FBIs Washington field office, alleged that the cynicism of the American establishment and "connections between the CIA and Saudi Arabia and the Bush men and bin Ladens" may have been the real cause of the deaths of thousands in the World Trade Centre attacks. The investigation, which featured in the BBCs leading current affairs programme, Newsnight, said the FBI was told to "back off" investigating one of Osama bin Ladens brothers, Abdullah, who was linked to "the Saudi-funded World Association of Muslim Youth (WAMY), a suspected terrorist organisation," whose accounts have still not been frozen by the US treasury despite being banned by Pakistan some weeks ago and India claiming it was linked to an organisation involved in bombing in Kashmir". Newsnight said there was a long history of "shadowy" American connections with Saudi Arabia, not least the two presidents Bushs "business dealings" with the bin Ladens and another more insidious link revealed by the former head of the American visa section in Jeddah. The official said he had been concerned about visas issued to large numbers of "unqualified" men "with no family links or any links with America or Saudi Arabia", only to find out later that it "was not visa fraud" but part of a scheme in which young men "recruited by Osama bin Laden" were being sent for "terrorist training by the CIA" after which they were sent on to Afghanistan. In a reiteration of a now well-known claim by one of George W Bushs former business partners, the BBC said he made his first million 20 years ago on the back of a company financed by Osamas elder brother, Salem. But it added the more disturbing assertion that both presidents Bush had lucrative stakes along with the bin Ladens in Carlyle Corporation, a small private company  which has gone on to become one of America's biggest defence contractors. The bin Ladens sold their stake in Carlyle soon after September 11, it said. American politicians later told the BBC programme that they rejected the accusation that the establishment had called the dogs of the intelligence agencies off the bin Ladens and the royal House of Saud because of a strategic interest in Saudi Arabia, which has the world's biggest oil reserve. Note: Carlyle was rated #12 of 100 top USA defense contractors in 1999 dh __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

BOOKSELLERS THREATENED BY FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE SURVEILLANCE ACT For Immediate Release: November 15, 2001 Rainbow Bookstore Cooperative recently received a letter from the American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression (ABFFE) concerning the chilling effects on booksellers of the new antiterrorism bill that President Bush just signed into law. If the bookstore were served with a court order under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) to search our business records, including the titles of books purchased by our customers, we would have no right to object in court or the court of public opinion. The new law includes a gag order that prevents us from disclosing "to any other person" the fact that we received such an order. The ABFFE says that depending on the specifics of the subpoena, the gag order could extend to contact with an attorney! No right to legal counsel is outrageous but is suddenly a very real and terrifying possibility. This terrifying encroachment on the privacy rights of citizens is itself a form of terrorism. "Terrorism", according to the New Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, is defined as "…the systematic employment of violence and intimidation to coerce a government or community, especially, into acceding to specific political demands". President Bushs declaration of a war on terrorism and subsequent military actions, combined with the presumption that U.S. citizens should willingly surrender our civil liberties for the good of the country certainly constitutes such a political demand. The FBI shows up at your home or workplace, demands information and refuses to let you contact legal counsel would sound like coercion and intimidation to most people. With the passage of the new antiterrorism legislation, if you dont cooperate, if you resist, your freedom and livelihood will be in jeopardy. Ironically, the first definition of the word "terrorist" in my dictionary refers to the Jacobins, the radicals during the French Revolution who "advocated and practiced methods of partisan repression and bloodshed in the propagation of the principles of democracy and equality". The prospect of increasing "partisan repression" at home and "bloodshed" abroad, in the name of democracy, a founding principle of this country as well as in France, is our new terrifying reality. We must collectively take a stand to defend our democratic rights, which includes the right to protest our government, oppose the war, and the right to read whatever we want . The new reactionary political climate, highlighted by the passage of FISA, dangerously expands the decade long government assault on our civil liberties and democratic freedoms. The danger to booksellers is just one small part of this new landscape. What are the repercussions for anti-war groups, people of color, immigrants, WTO/World Bank/IMF protesters, anarchists and radical activists of all stripes, progressive media outlets-any person or group who challenges the status quo-under these new laws? Do we even know? The right to political dissent is at stake. Generations have struggled to expand our democratic rights at home and a new generation hopes to extend them globally. This new global justice movement is threatened by our governments "employment of violence and intimidation" at home and abroad. We are sending this urgent appeal to our friends and allies in the media. We urge you to contact X, President of ABFFE, at X, for more information. Research the implications of this law. Make public the threats to our democracy in the name of "Homeland Security". We need more information, not less, during these dangerous times. In Solidarity X Rainbow Bookstore Cooperative 426 W.

September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. This is a very useful Q & A series from ZNET. "The average American is not surprised that corporations and the government seek to use fear of terror to redistribute funds upward by means of regressive tax reforms and boondoggle military spending, to gut public programs, to stifle public debate by calls for patriotism from the media, and to restrict rights by draconian legislation. But not as commonly understood is that active dissent can curb these trends and can foster opposite ones on behalf of the poor, of those who work, and of those who need civil liberties. And dissenters continuing to dissent and to make known the power of dissent, are thus absolutely essential, in this, now as at any other time." Eight Questions on the Direction the US "War on Terror" is Taking More Q & A On Terror and War By Michael Albert & Stephen R. Shalom 1. You have expressed skepticism that Osama bin Laden was involved in the Sept. 11 attacks. Are you still skeptical? Actually, what we and other advocates of democratic judicial values argued was not bin Laden's innocence, but that evidence regarding his involvement was not presented. On November 14 -- more than five weeks after the bombing began -- British Prime Minister Tony Blair declared that the evidence "now leaves no doubt whatever" that bin Laden was responsible. But isn't the evidence supposed to precede, not follow, the punishment? In any event, however, Blair's evidence even at this point is not decisive -- the only real addition to Blair's earlier dossier are quotes from an unpublicized bin Laden video -- that Britain doesn't have a copy of, but has knowledge of, reports the Los Angeles Times (15 Nov. 2001) -- that are not given in context and fall short of an admission. Bin Laden's guilt seems very likely, but the point is not to convince Blair or one allied government or another or even us, but public opinion in the Muslim world. Despite Washington's initial promise to present evidence publicly, it has yet to do so. Not only did we never dispute the possibility that bin Laden was involved in some way, we instead offered an explanation of why he might very well have been involved, what he was seeking, etc. We suggested that his motive, were he responsible, was probably to draw the U.S. into a massive response, destabilizing the region, a result that still may occur. More to the intent of the question, if, when a vigilante mob tries to lynch someone, it turns out that their suspect actually was guilty, that doesn't make the mob's actions any less vigilante. And this is true even if the mob doesn't kill a great many people (mostly victims, not culprits) in the process of going after their suspect, as has been occurring in Afghanistan. 2. Critics of the war have warned about mass starvation, genocide, and catastrophe. Weren't these warnings exaggerated? No. Opponents of U.S. policy, ourselves included, indicated that human rights and aid organizations warned that the bombing could lead to a million or even millions of deaths. And we pointed out that ignoring this warning, regardless of whether the horror came to pass or not, was an absolutely devastating commentary upon our ruling and media elites, and on others as well. That remains exactly the case. We also urged that it was a priority to pressure the U.S. to stop the bombing, stop the war, and aid in averting this catastrophe. That is still the priority, in fact. As to what damage has already been done, no one knows. What has happened, for example, to the large fraction of the population that has fled to the heavily-mined countryside? And many harmful consequences of U.S. policy will not be felt until later. What will be the future effects, for example, of losses in grain planting that was disrupted in October? When eyes turn away, who will be there to assess it? That a country embarks on a policy that puts a million or more innocent civilians at risk for political purposes is mass-scale terrorism. If -- and it remains a big if, regrettably -- the catastrophe is averted that will certainly be a reason to celebrate, but it will not be not reason to laud those who aggravated the prospects of disaster in the first place. Playing Russian Roulette is stupid -- even if you don't end up blowing your head off. Shooting a gun with a bullet in a random chamber at someone else is immoral, whether or not you end up committing murder. At the current time prospects are still very unclear. Yes, the U.S. could cease hostilities and assist food distribution, thereby reducing the prospect of catastrophic starvation. But the U.S. seems intent on rejecting any military let-up, and any pressure we can bring to bear urging this course of action is no less a priority now than it was yesterday or last week. Aid agencies warned that the crucial factor was how much food could be gotten in place before the winter snows and that the bombing interfered with getting the food in. Whether enough time now remains and whether the necessary effort is made before the snow arrives remains the critical question. 3. Some have been critical of the U.S. food drops. But weren't these helpful until the war provided a means to get food in by land? No. The food drops were pure PR, perhaps doing more harm than good. And while left critics of the war certainly argued this, they did so by quoting the World Food Program, the Red Cross, and others aid agencies, and even the Financial Times, all of whom issued scathing denunciations of this propaganda tool. Nothing has changed about that. What has now occurred is that the Northern Alliance has occupied Kabul, and what's left of the Taliban has retreated, it appears, to the mountains, virtually without a fight, under the weight of the most powerful non-nuclear bombs ever created, perhaps with the intention of waging an ongoing guerilla war from outside the main cities. The end to major fighting in the north may well have welcome humanitarian consequences. But what does that lead us to conclude about the morality of U.S. actions? Suppose the Taliban were to release, tomorrow, a proclamation declaring "we left the cities for the mountains so that the bombing would halt -- not having us as a target -- and the way would be clear for food aid to get to our fellow citizens. We have sacrificed our hold on power, to avert starvation among our people." Would we take that seriously? It would be true that their having left the field of battle created the conditions mentioned in the question. It would be true that it was a choice on their part, and that they could have instead fought on, leading into the winter, etc. Nevertheless, we would deduce based on our knowledge of their past policies that they made the choice out of their own strategic concerns, not out of concern for those suffering hunger. When the U.S. claims to care about the Afghan poor, we should not relinquish our critical faculties, just as we wouldn't were the Taliban to make the claim. Note, incidentally, that it was not the case that U.S. planners "knew" they could force the Taliban out of the northern cities before winter. Every indication suggests that the Taliban retreat was as much a surprise to the Pentagon as to everyone else. Just two days ago Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld was warning that though victory wouldn't take years, it would take months (which, he observed, meant that he had 23 months in which to operate). 4. Do you still think we're targeting civilians in our bombing? We never thought or stated that the bombing was targeting civilians per se. We did say that the direct violent affects on civilians were predictable. U.S. military planners know how often their smart bombs, not to mention their dumb bombs, miss, and how often their cluster bombs fail to detonate, thereby spewing future death traps across the land. But the real issue, from the beginning, was not the hundreds of civilians killed by bombs, horrible as that is, but the tens or hundreds of thousands, or maybe more, who might succumb quietly out of camera range. Some will be victims of the destruction of what little civilian infrastructure there is in the country: for example, electrical transmission from the power station at the Kajaki Dam has been knocked out, creating (according to UN officials) the risk of massive flooding and crop failures (Independent, 8 Nov. 2001). Some will be driven into the landmine-infested countryside. But the potentially most disastrous effect of the bombing -- as we always maintained, and as various aid agencies have warned -- has been to put huge numbers of people at risk of starvation. And this remains the case. And we said that the latter was the most abominably heinous aspect of the project -- beyond that it [the War] was undertaken outside the law, indeed specifically to delegitimate the law, and to maintain military credibility, and to propel a "war on terrorism" whose purpose to no small degree is to organize domestic fear in pursuit of elite agendas of financial redistribution from poor to rich and draconian social reaction against civil liberties. 5. There's been lots of criticism of the Northern Alliance. But haven't they proven pretty effective? Criticism of the Northern Alliance has been not that they are incompetent soldiers, but social monsters, slightly different in kind from the Taliban, but small improvement morally. Nothing in the past few days changes the historical record of the Northern Alliance, and indeed, the first sketchy reports of executions and looting in cities newly fallen under their control suggests that their thuggish practices continue. As RAWA, perhaps the foremost organization fighting for the rights of women in Afghanistan, announced as the Northern Alliance entered Kabul, "The retreat of the terrorist Taliban from Kabul is a positive development, but the entering of the rapist and looter Northern Alliance in the city is nothing but dreadful and shocking news for about 2 million residents of Kabul whose wounds of the years 1992-96 have not healed yet. Thousands of people who fled Kabul during the past two months were saying that they feared coming to power of the NA in Kabul much more than being scared by the US bombing." Moreover, while they are no doubt capable warriors, what has occurred has little or perhaps even nothing to do with their battlefield abilities, since there was no battle. The Taliban essentially withdrew without a fight, apparently choosing to cede the cities to continue the struggle from the mountains, depending on how much there is left to them, under the onslaught of the bombing. 6. Since the anthrax probably has a domestic source and since the crash of American Airlines Flight 587 probably was accidental, don't your concerns about creating more terrorists seem a little alarmist? Not at all -- unfortunately -- since people who are newly pushed to desperation by current policies, by the starvation, by the other continuing policies in the region, all now highlighted and aggravated, do not overnight manifest their commitment via terrorist attack, of course. The assessment of this miserable and depressing prediction against actual outcomes is in the future, not the present. It is not unlike when critics warned back in the 1980s that supporting bin Laden and the Mujahideen would have horrible future blowback ramifications. To say a week or two, or even a year or two after that prediction that it was proved false would have been a bit premature, obviously. 7. And your worries about uprisings throughout the Arab and Muslim worlds (including nuclear-armed Pakistan) -- weren't these too rather exaggerated? We and other critics said that the policies undertaken in Afghanistan and proposed for the rest of the world risked such destabilization. They did, and they still do. Does anyone think that Pakistan's stability is assured as the battle moves to the southern Pashtun region of Afghanistan, a region with many cross-border ties to Pakistan? And if the U.S. decides to expand the "war on terrorism" to some new defenseless venue, say the Sudan, or perhaps a not entirely defenseless venue, say Iraq, the prospects of general social dissolution in the region will enlarge, again. Numerous surveys in Arab and Muslim nations show extremely high levels of opposition to the U.S. war, even in supposedly friendly states. Most people are not inclined to heed bin Laden's call to holy war, but as the U.S. pushes its dictatorial allies to join Washington's holy war, instability is likely to spread. 8. Isn't it time to celebrate the demise of the Taliban and return to healing our country, setting aside all the negative talk about U.S. criminality, and all the opposition to U.S. policies? If the Taliban were finished as a social force, that would be something worth "celebrating" in that the Taliban is a horrendously reactionary and violent organization impeding justice by its very existence and practices. But, regrettably, it is quite possible that they are off planning their next actions, not disintegrating. As to setting aside criticisms of the U.S., nothing could be less constructive. First, to continue to criticize and more importantly raise dissent to pressure an end to bombing and undertaking food aid in all endangered regions is paramount. The alternative is too horrible to even entertain. Second, addressing the just grievances of people throughout the Middle East and the world regarding U.S. foreign policies is necessary both on behalf of those who suffer the impact of those policies, and also to eliminate the cause of support for terrorism against the U.S. And third, the events in NYC, Washington, and Afghanistan, we are told by our government, auger a larger project, a war on terrorism, whose character, as we can already see, is to be quite like that of the Cold War. It will, if it actually transpires as intended, marshal hate and fear through manipulation and misrepresentation into support for policies that further enrich and empower the already rich and powerful. Everyone, at some level, knows this. The average American is not surprised that corporations and the government seek to use fear of terror to redistribute funds upward by means of regressive tax reforms and boondoggle military spending, to gut public programs, to stifle public debate by calls for patriotism from the media, and to restrict rights by draconian legislation. But not as commonly understood is that active dissent can curb these trends and can foster opposite ones on behalf of the poor, of those who work, and of those who need civil liberties. And dissenters continuing to dissent and to make known the power of dissent, are thus absolutely essential, in this, now as at any other time.

I got this message off a list I'm on (Progressive Sociologists Network) . Its from a great sociologist.  ASA = American Sociologist Association.  I think it could pertain to all of us... he writes: The American Public Health Association (APHA) adopted a policy statement opposing the war in Afghanistan.  Below is a copy of the press release they have put out. This is a small but very significant victory for the emerging anti-war movement that should give us great encouragement.  The APHA is a very large organization of many kinds of health professionals who are politically very diverse.  We should try to get other professional organizations to which we belong to adopt similar positions.  We might consider a campaign to get the ASA to adopt an anti-war position.  Even if we don't win, we would be able to bring the issues before thousands of people and stimulate important debate.  We should do the same at regional or international professional associations. I congratulate the progressive forces in the APHA for their fine work. Please forward this press release to other lists. X ++++++++++++++++++ Press Release follows ++++++++++++++++++++++ American Public Health Association Adopts Resolution Opposing War (ATLANTA, October 24) - The American Public Health Association (APHA), the largest organization of public health professionals in the United States, adopted a policy statement opposing the war in Afghanistan. The resolution states in part, "The American Public Health Association declares its opposition to the military action against Afghanistan and other nations as an undertaking that runs counter to the health and well-being of our populations." The Governing Council, which is the policy-making body of the APHA, voted approval of the statement by a comfortable margin in its closing session this afternoon. The policy statement specifically condemned "wars motivated by economic objectives, such as dominance over regions rich in petroleum reserves, as stated in [the 1999] Policy Statement ['Opposing War in the Middle East']. "War in Central and Southwest Asia is intensifying," says Dr. Richard David, a member of the APHA Governing Council and neonatologist at Cook County Hospital in Chicago. "Many public health professionals, like others in this country, oppose this oil war. The APHA sees the health of populations - in this country and abroad - as our top priority. This resolution says the war is about territory, not terrorism. We are against it." The public health community, many of whom aided the victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks, condemned the attacks for the staggering levels of death and human suffering they caused to civilians. Many, such as Dr. Victor Sidel, past president of the APHA and current president of the Public Health Association of New York City, see the U.S. bombing of Afghanistan as a campaign with similar effects. "Public health must oppose war because of its direct killing and maiming, because of its destruction of human welfare and the environment, and because of the legacy of violence that will produce further violence," states Dr. Sidel. "The attacks on Muslims and Arab-Americans, and on civil liberties in the United States have already been a blow to public health. Cuts in public health services while a single-minded response to bioterrorism is emphasized, will cause further deaths. Public health would instead support the rule of law, of justice, and of peace." Many public health professionals see the war as a cause of worsening health in the United States. The billions of dollars allocated to military spending in the recent month will mean corresponding cuts in social programs such as childhood immunizations and education. Many attendees at the APHA Annual Convention in Atlanta were glad to see the APHA addressing the public health impact of war. "The destruction of public health imfrastructure leads to many years of devastating illness in developing countries such as Afghanistan. When the U.S. bombs destroy water purification plants, they are attacking civilians. There is no military justification for that," says Dr. David Buchanan, an internist from Illinois who is attending the APHA meeting for the first time. "This resolution fits with the APHA mission of promoting health." For more information, contact: X September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.

September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Dear WFA Colleagues, I agree with X that the bombing is not illegal, but I gather that on every other point I would agree with Heather. The bombing is legal under article 51 of the UN Charter. It is a fact that the United States was attacked and continues to be threatened, and consequently has the right to act in self defense. However from a practical and moral perspective the legality of bombing is not very important because it is viewed as illegitimate by many of the people who matter most in the countries where future terrorists are dedicating their lives to destroy America. Also it is essentially irrelevant to the objective of bringing bin Laden to justice or to the goal of combating terrorism; it is probably counterproductive with regard to both those aims. For every military target and Taliban soldier destroyed by the bombing, there are hundreds crossing into Afghanistan to help the Taliban because of the bombing. There could have been a better way to bring suspects to justice and to begin a campaign against terrorism. The Security Council could have acted under Chapter VII to set up its own multi-stage procedure. Ideally this would have started with representatives of the Secretary-General and the Organization of the Islamic Conference going to seek Afghan compliance with a demand to hand over bin Laden to a new ad hoc international tribunal in the Hague. If there were not compliance, then military action could have been taken by a UN Rapid Deployment Force, using US and UK air cover, but only in a very carefully targeted manner. This process might not have led to the capture of bin Laden, as the present process may not, but much less harm would have been done. People in Muslin countries can not be expected to see justice in an ultimatum by the United States to hand over bin Laden to a U.S. court. The government of Afghanistan did offer to hand him over to a third country if they could have been shown the evidence that he had caused the 9/11 attacks. If the whole procedure had been done through the UN, by the UN, it might or might not have worked, but certainly the legitimacy of international law would have been strengthened. The way it was done in the Security Council, in effect allowing the U.S. to take all necessary steps, was understandable in the wake of the horror of the assaults on the United States, but such carte blanche resolutions do not contribute to the credibility of the Security Council or to any form of solidarity between the major powers that prevail in the Council and the people and nations that view themselves as oppressed by Western hegemony.  I fear that we have added to a process that will deepen the divide between the rich and the poor, bringing new recruits to Al Queda to strengthen terrorism worldwide. I also fear that hatred of our actions and our power and our use of military power will weaken the stability of a number of countries; and while I have very little respect for the government of Saudi Arabia now, I would have even less for a Taliban-type government there. A true campaign against terrorism would address its causes and include many of the programs for strengthening global institutions and supporting sustainable development that world federalists have long favored. It would also focus on apprehending individuals, not states, in efforts to stop criminal actions. It would move beyond a state-centric interpretation of the rules of the Charter where collective security tends to mean war and collective retribution; world federalists insist on individual responsibility under international law. Because the views I have expressed outline a process for strengthening international institutions in a way that puts justice, equity and human rights before the state-centric legalities of the present UN system, I think such views should be seen as representing the main stream of world federalist thinking. However, clearly there can be different views and different streams of thought within our movement. Also, it is valuable for the process of bringing more people to our views that we have a positive attitude toward the fact that the GW Bush Administration is coming to see the limits of unilateralism and the importance of friends in diverse nations.
